I could do research into conspiracy theories but what’s the point?
The first thing you could do is research where the term 'conspiracy theory' came from, and
what the purpose of coining it was.
The answer might surprise you.
I'm serious.
People have been making conspiracy theories on 9/11 since the day it happened but still we are none the wiser??
Many would disagree with you, but you are
equally entitled to your opinion about that.
at this moment in time mainstream media is unavoidable.
Come on. We both know that isn't true. Watch it or do not; it's up to you - you know where the TV remote is.
Hmmm... are they? Or are you parroting what the TV told you?
Some of what the TV tells you may be true, but it would be naive to assert that because you saw/heard something on TV it inevitably 'must be' factually accurate and true. People are more likely to believe horrific statistics and claims as indisputable 'fact' if they have first been traumatised into a state of hysteria.
Use your own critical thinking, mate!
so what research that I do is pointless imo that it’s a man made virus made up by bill gates or the Chinese so they can make a shed load of money from the vaccine or that China are now about to take over the world blah blah
That's mostly fear p0rn.
Instead of trying to find 'the one true answer', I encourage you to consider that the current situation may be
multi-faceted, with some bad, but
also some good potentially happening, behind the scenes. It's just that you won't see/hear a broader perspective from a media apparatus with a narrow agenda to spoonfeed the masses a controllingly negative agenda.
